King Collection MS.1986.195 - Page 4 - Biographical Note: Richard J. King Richard J. King was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1907. Educated "by the Christian Brothers and at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, now the National College," King went on to serve "as chief designer in the studio of the late Harry Clarke, one of Ireland's most noted artists in stained glass." Developing his artistic skills in many different mediums, King "served for many years as the staff artist" of the Capuchin Annual wherein he published many paintings, pen and ink designs, and illustrations for various articles. In 1943, the Capuchin Annual featured King's work in a full-length article also displaying both color and black and white samples from the range of his work, which is largely religious in nature, although his work with secular subjects is substantial. Also nationalistic in theme, a portion of King's work ranges from portraits of various Irish saints to designs employed for a number of Irish postal stamps. A prolific stained-glass designer, "King's windows and murals decorate many Irish churches and his work has been exhibited in New Zealand and the United States, as well as in Ireland." In 1952, a set of three windows of King's design were permanently installed at the Boston College Library. Remembered as a "great friend," "an engaging raconteur," and "an experienced trout and salmon angler" by friends both among the clergy and outside of it, King, a husband to Alison and father of four children, died in Dublin March 17, 1974, at the age of 64. Sources: Richard King: The Artist and His Work, Richard King Exhibition Pamphlet, March 9, 1952, Boston College Library. "Tributes,"Capuchin Annual, pp. 174-195; quoted from contributor James Campbell Scope and Contents The Richard J. King collection consists of reprints and proofs of a range of artwork published largely in the Capuchin Annual, between 1940 and 1949, as illustrations for various articles. The artwork is widely- themed, concerning both religious and secular subjects. The religious artwork includes a number of series of Stations of the Cross and Catholic saints, along with a series of the Sacred Mysteries, all rendered in various aesthetic styles and artistic mediums. The collection includes a large sample of printed Christmas cards designed by King, as well as a small representation in proofs and prints from the larger series of Irish postal stamps King designed. There are also a few reviews of King's work on the Irish postal stamps and a few items of correspondence. Of particular interest are four single stamps as well as an envelope with four stamps postmarked on first day of issue and addressed by King to Rev. Terrence L. Connolly, S.J. at Boston College on April 4, 1949; a short handwritten note to Father Connolly accompanies the postmarked envelope. The King collection includes color photographs of the set of stained glass windows installed in what is currently the James Jeffrey Roche Room in the Bapst Library at Boston College, along with copper Richard J. King Collection MS.1986.195 - Page 5 - printing plates for two of the images. The photographs also include a number of Stations of the Cross illustrations, originally produced as oil paintings, as well as fourteen of the fifteen Sacred Mysteries of the Rosary originally illustrated by King in an unspecified medium. Lastly, the collection includes two original paintings by King on display in the John J. Burns Library at Boston College: a watercolor, Mountmellick, Offalay, Ireland, which represents the birthplace of James Jeffrey Roche; and a portrait of James Jeffery Roche, rendered in oil. Both are undated gifts of the Eire Society of Boston. Arrangement Arranged into eight series. Series I. Illustrations; Series II. Proofs; Series III. Photographs; Series IV.

Were they Jonathan Edwards whose sermons were so powerful, Thomas Paine whose rh etoric aroused the emo­ ti ons of our nation-ta-be, Benjamin Fra nklin whose clear and eloquent prose was so ll15tru cti ve and persuasive" and Philip Frenea u whose poems, ballads and satires made him a pioneer in th e w riting of artistic literature in America? Perhaps they were; or maybe they could have been. Yet, in almost every casE', lack of readers, irwdequate financial and literary recognition, and even changing personal priorities prohibited these men from finding their luJi expression as authors. That they never attained the height of genius in the realm of belJes-Iettres is probably as m uch an accident of their times as of their talents.

  • Newton Country Day School Chapel
    Newton Country Day School Chapel In 1925, the Religious of the Sacred Heart transferred their Boston school for girls to the former Tudor-Revival style estate of Loren D. Towle in Newton, Massachusetts. The Boston architectural firm of Maginnis and Walsh (founded in 1898 as Maginnis, Walsh, and Sullivan) built the chapel and a four-story school wing between 1926 and 1928. The senior partner was Charles D. Maginnis (1867-1955), an immigrant from Londonderry, Ireland by way of Toronto, Canada. Maginnis’ leadership revolutionized the architecture of Roman Catholic institutions in America. In 1909, the firm won the competition to design Boston College and in the 1920s would build the library, chapel, and dining hall for the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester. The firm had then become highly honored; Boston College’s Devlin Hall had received the J. Harleston Parker Gold Medal in 1925 and the Carmelite Convent in Carmel, California (1925) and Trinity College Chapel in Washington, DC (1927) both won the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal. Maginnis was an admirer of the American Eclectic movement (1880s-1930s) which made use of a variety of historic expressions. The Newton Country Day School Chapel is English 15th- century Gothic. Its style shows an admirably simple practicality, yet evokes warmth through the use of wood for side paneling and roof. In the center, for the students, the seats face the front and the altar. The outer seating, used by the Religious for community prayer, is set in a choir-stall structure, aligned with the sides of the chapel and equipped with seats that fold up when they are not being used.
